A dry record-cleaning brush that actually works

There's a goat-hair record-cleaning brush with the improbable name of "Okki Nokki" for $40, see:http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008OY1724?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00that actually works.I purchased mine back in October. It's a dry brush so no need for fluid refills. I have used this on new vinyl and old. It does the best job of any dry- or wet-brush cleaning method I've ever tried and has yet to shed a bristle. One or two trips around the record, then just brush the dust-line off.No fiduciary or pecuniary interest in whoever makes this thing. It just works, and generates zero static.

I have an Okki Nokki record washing machine. It works fine. I believe the newer ones had a transformer overheating problem.Also, there is zero communication from Okki Nokki if you have a question and some accessories are difficult to source (45 rpm vacuum brush).If I had it to do all over, I'd go with VPI.

I have the VPI wet-washer as well, but that's like a Sunday "project" when you pull out a stack of vinyl that survived all your college keg parties and attempt to rehab same -- for which purpose the VPI is well-suited.The Nokki brush can be used wet or dry (I have not tried any fluids with it) so you can just keep it handy next to the turntable. Again, what's remarkable about it just as a dry brush is it seems to generate no static while digging out a lot of crud.It is time to toss the Watts DiscWasher apparatus into the nearest Salvation Army box, methinks.-d-
